It uses the standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it footprint-compatible with a wide range of industry-standard receptacles and prototyping grids.
The 5 A figure is per-circuit at the rated temperature rise — useful for parallel power pins or daisy-chained signal lines. The tin-plated mating surface (100.0 µin / 2.54 µm thickness) is cost-effective for applications with a limited number of mating cycles; tin is the standard choice for permanent or infrequently disconnected interconnects where gold's cycle-life premium isn't needed. The unshrouded design with push-pull fastening means there's no plastic shroud around the pins. The 0.230" (5.84 mm) mating pin length provides a solid wipe inside the receptacle contact. The 0.140" (3.56 mm) insulation height above the board is typical for this pitch class — low enough to keep the stack height tight, tall enough to prevent solder-bridge shorts.
